The white Dove,
Faith Grafton had iteen an invalid or
eitt years. She had beep injured in her 16th
year, by a fall from a hart:la:oak, and had
never loft her bed since, It was veil'
sad to see this sweet yoeng girl, itist- bud-
dieg into beautiful womanhood, etrioken
like a rose by the frost. Sadder etill
was it from the fact that she had just'
plighted her troth to a noble youog man,
whose devotion for her wee tso great that it
amounted almost to worehip. Although,
from the nature of bet injury, which woe
spinal, it was imposeible that Faith siboula
ever xeeover so at; to leave her couch.
Roger Cheatham'her lover, rermined
Mithful to his trotle—more devoted and
loving than ever, so that hie very existence
seemed bodied up in hers, and he asked ne
dearer joy in life than to serve her, and
oomfort her, and be near her.
The love of these young people was very
beautiful. Buffeeing, no doubt, had antis
it purer than it otherwise could ever have
been, though the essence from the first was
like the fragrance of a epetlerse flower,
What aweeter picture could be imagined
than that brave, strong, faithful young
lover sitting by the bedside of his betrothed
—of her who never ootild be his—and read-
ing to the pale, patient, beautiful girl flOnle
story or "poem of her choice " while the
bunole of wild flowers whichhe had brought
lay itt the slender white hand on the white
counterpane?
So for six long, bitter-sweet year thie
christened love was a•ripening. •, Then
Came the awful 'shook, the crushing blow;
for the stricken life began to fade out, and,
like a, terrible dream, the truth fastened
itself upon Roger Cheathane's eoul that his
beloved was passing away from him; that
tbe frost's bitten rose was strewing its last
petals over this earth of ours grown dreary.
Faith herself did not strive to coneeal the
truth from him. She told him one day,
when the setting usun streamed low acmes
her coach, flecked With the shadows orelm
leaves that in a few short weeks she felt
Shat her stifferings would be over, and he
would be freo again.
Free? Roger Cheatham bent over the
weary face on the pillow, and three times
touched tbe foreheae and the loose golden
hairs saeredly with his lips, while Faith
Graftoia's cheeks were 'wet with his tears.
It was enough. Faith could die happy
now;• for she knew that Roger's love was
of that sacred kind whioh a man never
• gives but once, and having once given never
can take back again. In the mussy of that
moment she said, with a proplaetio inten-
sity which ifirilled the young man like a
voice from heaven:
"Believe me, Boger, I will not leave you
waitingall alone. In some way I believe
that I shall be permitted to come to you,
and to give you assurance that our love,
broken here, is to be united again in
heaven. Soniething tells me that my soul
shall hover over yours—it may not be in
any visible form, but its presence WWI be
known to you." Then she :stretched out
her hand weakly, and he took it in his
strong grasp. And so they communed
silently for a long time after the sunned
gone down, and the first stars were twink-
ling in the sky.
After this the sick girl seemed to slip
away out of life, as a dewdrop that has
been loosened slips from the petal of a
flower. "It's all right, xxiother, be said
one morning, while her mother's tears
dropped on tbe wasted hands. " Once I
thought 1 was leaving the Ban behind, but
the light has moved up higher, mother. It
is sway over on the other side now."
When the end oame it came like a begin-
ning. There was no sorrow nor putting
away of death with the white hands. •A
sweet slumber like a veil floated over the
girl's eyee, and with an ineffeble smile sbe
pat her right heed into her mother'e hands
and her left hand into her lover's hands,
and gave herself up to the angel; and so it
was all over.
One evening, about a week after the
funeral, Roger Cheatham was coming from
the woods over beyond the cemetery, with
both hands full of great clusters of wild
flowers. It was the sunset hour --the one
hour when Faith had made that strange,
sweet proraise which he would never let go
as tong as he lived. "1 wonder," he
thought, "how she will come to me 2 For
I know that she will come if the gates of
heaven are not forever oloeed upon the
spirits of the dead.
Just then, over Roger Cheatham's head,
came that sweet winnowing sound whieh
memo peculiar to the wings of a dove. He
looked quickly up, and there, hovering
over him tee white as the edge of a atm -
mer cloud, and as beautifui, was a solitary
dove. For a moment it poised with up.
ward and downward motion of its wings.
Then from its bills something came whirl.
ing and drifting ;' but ere it had touched
the earth the dove mounted toward the
rosy west and disappeared. Roger Cheatham
stooped reverently and picked up the
white missive whieh had flattered to his
feet. It was a eingle spray of Mintier.

Desolated by his patron to the gallipots
of iallY's hoePital, and beginning with the
hunebteet °Moss of pharmacy, he rose by
dint of talent and hard work to the highest
summits of fashion as a physician, the
friendship of .princeta. and all the honors
which the &natant ninversitim could pour
upon him. From the first, those who knew
him intimately earedioted hie brilliant
career. Of a manly and massive type of
comeliness, and with fascinating manners,
he knew how to ocanbine the graces of
the courier with the sagadous profundity
of Manner which is one of the secrets of
moms in the difficult career of ts watt
phyeician. He cultivated the art of oonver-
sation with as muoh assiduity as the
subtle methods of bedside diagnosie and
peletable prescriptions. As an orator 'he
possessed rare gifts ; and when Gall was
o deliver an oration, either at the College
of Physicians or at any of the more popn-
ar medioal assemblies, there was sure to
be a crowded attendance, and there always
was something well worth hearing. He
alighted in paradox and in piquant
eneralizations. He did not fear to shook

matured and aggressive incredulity of the
slim of medicines. The great Mistake of

a that they cannot be reasoned out of
leek belief that disease comes by Provi-

Tint Fashion Sas Become Common.
The horsey girls who last summer took
up the fashion of wearing men's shirts,
collars and ties, and decorated the Impale of
their little jackets with boutonnieres, man
fashion, ran the pace none too Won, says
the New 'York Sun. The factory girls have
the shirt -front craze, and henceforth it is
doomed as an article of fashionable attire
among women of any sooial pretentious.
Whatever the shop girls embrace, as a rule,
is doomed in society, for the girls usually
run the fashion to death in a few mouths
on the one hand and usually look better
than the society women on the other. At
all events they cheapen any new hobby
with a great deal of rapidity. The sign of
the shirt front is to be seen in every dry
goods shop in town, and when the weather
becomes a little more settled—if such a
consummation is ever brought about—the
sidewslks will be enlivened by endless shirt
bosoms adapted to the needs end fashion-
able aepirations of that portion of feminine
New York which works itt the slope.
